@Fat_Electrician @MetamateDaz Remember, they vote also.

@MetamateDaz I’ve said this 1,000 times. The amount of people that think billionaires literally have billions of dollars sitting in their checking account blows my mind.

I genuinely don't understand people like Bezos and Musk. If I had billions of dollars, I would just start fixing everything. Homeless veterans sleeping on the streets? Not on my watch. Hungry children going to bed with empty stomachs? Hell no. They could be making life better but instead choose to build spaceships and data centers to pump stocks and destroy the planet

@data_atx Pretty sure they are not allowed to vote in a closed session. Voting should be open to the public. Closed sessions are for consulting with attorneys and things like thag.

Don’t think anyone on the Austin City Council would lie about this More likely, it’s another case of the city’s legal department giving some questionable direction

@chitoforatx @LoewyLawFirm And yet, not a word condemning violence by the kids in your district. You are a prime example of the corruption our nation is plagued with.

Thank you @LoewyLawFirm for your support of Delwood Little League Baseball! Wrapped up a great season today and couldn’t do it without community support. Much appreciated!

@HLC_actual @A10TheHog Its made by a company called Air Tractor....it has a lot of FU built in!

@A10TheHog It ain’t the hawg but put some respect on the sky raider II

This is a contender to replace the A-10? It looks malnourished. 🤣

@RyanAlter @Ratherocity @data_atx You make up shit all the time. Like you are now! The problem is you have no credibility with people paying attention.

@Ratherocity @data_atx Love when we just make things up. I was asked at the meeting if it was unanimous and I told him the same thing I’ve told everyone else - our discussions in executive session are confidential and I couldn’t speak to it. I guess we still haven’t learned about the game of telephone.

I’m hearing word from people that Austin council members are saying they are not allowed to say whether they voted yes or no on the new natural gas power plant that was approved 👀 I have never seen this level of secrecy around a government decision before, super WEIRD!

@data_atx Siegel is a DSA cuck who has no place in any kind of leadership. He hates the military, hates first responders, hates any kind of actual enforcement.

During the 'Dogs Head' discussion on thursday, Councilman Siegel introduced and passed an amendment to prohibit military use of the land The military was never planning on using it, so its unnecessary, but also kind of bizarre to see such anti-military sentiment in Texas Camp Mabry is a great neighbor. The Future Command is a great thing to have here. I can't believe this got passed without anyone standing up for the military.

@LawTalkinDude @AustinJustice @TxDPS No reason they cant.

@AustinJustice Why can’t @TxDPS just install their own LPR systems within the city?

Austin's decision to turn off its license plate cameras and let criminals roam free has become the best sales pitch police departments across the country could ask for. ALPR companies couldn't have paid for better marketing.

@_adamdoug @chrisharris904 I do not work for Flock. I think the system works and there is data that proves it does. I have no reasonable expectation of privacy when I drive in public places. Why do you want criminals to succeed?

@Will_FosterVibe @chrisharris904 do you work for flock? why are you sucking their dick so hard?

I believe the most democratic and transparent way to address the license plate reader issue in Austin, is to put it on a ballot proposition for a vote. Let everyone debate, educate, and consider the issue until everyone is blue in the face. Then let everyone go vote on it. (I know that's harder than it sounds.)

@_adamdoug @chrisharris904 How is any of what I said an uneducated point? I'm sorry you are unable to logically see the issue. You're so blinded by your hate that you cant help but lash out emotionally. Its clear you're not emotionally able to have a rational discussion. Sad, have a blessed day.

@Will_FosterVibe @chrisharris904 please make an edcuated point or shut the fuck up. You argue like a woman.

@Type07Safety I just ordered my first Benchmade and have several other brands including Spyderco and Kershaw. Looking forward to having the butterfly

I've never owned a Benchmade knife before, but now I do! I also picked up another Spyderco. What are your favorite knife brands?

@mrcashowt @ChuckMurison @BamaSaltyMarine LOL OK!

@ChuckMurison @BamaSaltyMarine West coast has way more guns than the rest of the country lmaooo 🤣 just because the laws are more bullshit over here doesn’t mean shit more people here have “illegal” weapons than yall have legal lmao

Just a Reminder... If War ever touches American Soil. US citizens are NOT bound by rules of engagement.

@chatsItai @ChuckMurison @BamaSaltyMarine Bring it Zimbabwe.

@ChuckMurison @BamaSaltyMarine Oh on the contrary. Best to leave that country because you shall be invaded and enslaved.

@meglaDown @MAC_Arms It has different downsides. Bolt and magazine issues to start.

@MAC_Arms 6mm arc should be the future. It has the advantages of both 308 and 556 without the downsides.

I've been saying this for a couple of years. The future for gun powder is high pressure. After that, there's not much else we can do with it. In the meantime, get ready to get 20" barrel velocities out of 14" or shorter uppers.

@jfd805 @WadeMiller What is the issue with his voting record?

@WadeMiller I dont disagree with you on Patrick or Mayes, I just think he is a lesser evil. I have a much different view of Chip than you do, and it is based on many things, but mostly I think he hates MAGA, is disrespectful to his voters and while his rhetoric is great his voting isn’t

Ken Paxton is currently the only statewide official in Texas that is actually MAGA. If he wins the Senate, and Chip wins the AG, then there will be two statewide officials in Texas who actually care about the America First MAGA agenda.

@Psalm23RRTx @AustinJustice Austin voted for this, Austin wanted it.

@AustinJustice Ok I’ll bite, but he was elected twice. All of what you’re saying maybe true, but the voters wanted this, nobody to blame but the Austin voters. You reap what you sow.

A tale of two Garzas. José Garza is Austin's DA. Under him, the homicide rate has doubled vs pre-pandemic, felony cases are dropped, and many crimes have been effectively decriminalized. He is the primary reason Austin's criminals act without fear of consequences. Then there's Jonathan De La Garza Jr. He was shot in the stomach in front of his younger sisters on Saturday. His family says he can barely speak. When he does, he tells his grandmother he's in pain.

@austinreforms @fox7austin There is no way to know since they do not ask about immigration status of anyone. No measures are being taken to correct anything.

How many criminal illegal aliens have been released by Travis County… in addition to the ones who just shot up the city? What are the numbers? Who is releasing them? What measures are being taken to punish and remove the individuals enabling these crimes? @fox7austin

@_adamdoug @chrisharris904 Real-time data to the agency using it, allowing faster response times. A network that is already in place with safeguards set by the contracting entity. An existing platform that has performed well at solving crimes and catching criminals.

@Will_FosterVibe @chrisharris904 so you are fully supporting flock? why?

@_adamdoug @chrisharris904 More than using an existing system. You already said you don't care

@Will_FosterVibe @chrisharris904 how many millions?

@_adamdoug @chrisharris904 You believe this would be a cheap proposition? Please, tell me oh X expert in technology how I am wrong.... It would cost millions of dollars to produce a working integrated LPR system.

@Will_FosterVibe @chrisharris904 I don't care - you are the one who claimed it "would be wildly expensive". why can't you just say you don't know? people like you who boldly say things that have no context nor value are part of the problem. otoh, you would make an excellent councilperson.

@_adamdoug @chrisharris904 Why would I scope a project like that? You have to integrate LPR cameras to a system that can integrate with state systems to check against a crime database. I guess its easy, you should give it a go. The city has been so fiscally responsible they should do this too I guess..

@Will_FosterVibe @chrisharris904 how do you know the cost of development? have you scoped the project? why do you trust public data to a private corporation? Flock is not some ground breaking tech - we had LPR in DFW back in 2013. You sound like a politician - all words, no answers.
